How does one tell a recruiter in NY that asking for salary is illegal after they ask you for it? I feel that you might come off as an ahole.

Just say the range in which you are looking for, like so...

“Thanks for reaching out! I’m searching for jobs in the $xx,xxx - $xx,xxx range. Does that align with the range you have for this position?"

It is illegal for them to ask previous salary, so I’d just change the subject into what range you’re looking for.

Just say how much you want to make. Or how much you want + 10% so you can negotiate. I wouldn’t give a range because they only listen to the lowest number

I lie. But if you want to, you can say something like: “There’s a law here that actually makes it illegal to ask about current salary. But I can definitely tell you what range I’m seeking instead.”

Yeah but what if it's a call? I got asked and I threw out a number.

Hi- I’m an hourly AA, been on the role for 6 months now and it’s my first AA job. I did not get a raise when I took the job because it was technically a demotion ( I was a team leader at a contact center). I assist two VPs and now they want to add a third because they’re looking for the “ 3:1 ratio “. Should I ask for a raise? Is this normal? I know another AA that handles 3+ people but idk if she’s hourly or salary. Any thoughts?

Hi all, I see a lot of posts here where one person is having quite a few offers and negotiating the salary based on the the best offer in hand.

3.What salary should I target for the above experience and skills.
